So much happens in such a short space. The book uses fantastic imagery and sharp prose to perfectly capture the character’s increasing loneliness and isolation. As this is a short book I was expecting it to be a breezy, easy read. I got quite the opposite. The book is devastatingly sad at times but there are moment of comic genius that I can’t be sure were intentional or not. There are some light moments as well. This short book is very bleak for the most part which makes it seems like a much longer piece of writing, hundreds of pages more than it actually is. This isn’t the kind of book I would normally read. There is no real plot and the other characters are barely more than outline. Yet there is something I really loved about it. Review: romanticism and loneliness of a Parisian gutter life - Paris is the city to get lost and drunk in. This can be seen by the amount of literature concerned with these two essential elements of life, and Jean Rhys has conjured up an exquisite example of the stream of consciouness 'life in the gutter' tale of a girl lost and alone. At just the right length the novel concerns Sophia who has returned to Paris after an abscence in an attempt to rebuild her life. Unfortunately her life starts the spiral downwards as she wanders the streets and rests in the bars thinking of her past life and the events which have brought her this far. In equal parts tragic and compelling this is an essential read for anyone who feels like drifting, drinking and dreaming. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 10,541 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 155 in Poetry & Drama Criticism 692 in Fiction Classics (Books) 2,331 in Literary Fiction (Books) | | Customer reviews | 4.3 4.3 out of 5 stars (368) | | Dimensions | 12.9 x 1.1 x 19.7 cm | | Edition | 1st | | ISBN-10 | 0141183934 | | ISBN-13 | 978-0141183930 | | Item weight | 136 g | | Language | English | | Print length | 176 pages | | Publication date | 3 Aug. 2000 | | Publisher | Penguin Classics | ## Images ![Good Morning, Midnight: Jean Rhys (Penguin Modern Classics) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71fOGJozNFL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Bleak, intense and addictive *by P***T on 12 March 2019* I was blown away by this book.

This can be seen by the amount of literature concerned with these two essential elements of life, and Jean Rhys has conjured up an exquisite example of the stream of consciouness 'life in the gutter' tale of a girl lost and alone.

At times I couldn't decide whether the prose was comical or devastatingly sad. There were moments when I'd be reading along and would have to stop after coming across amazing descriptions e.g. as a clock is being wound it is described as making a noise 'somewhere between a giggle and a burp'. I knew instantly the noise Jean Rhys was writing of, we had an old clock that did that too. I haven't yet read the other reviews but I'm wondering whether readers come away with differing views of the main character and where her life has been and is heading. Is it tragedy, partly comical, positive or a mixture of all? My feeling is you could argue all of these points depending on your analytic sensibilities and also you view of women and, obviously, feminism in particular. A great choice for a book group and an important one to mark out for older teenage women you are close to (daughters, nieces etc). It'd be a great way to encourage conversation about the realities of feelings of love and hate and how that changes as women grow-up. Indeed how women can turn everything in on themselves. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/62533926-good-morning-midnight-jean-rhys-penguin-modern-classics](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/62533926-good-morning-midnight-jean-rhys-penguin-modern-classics) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-05-30*
